The emerging trend reflects on perspective shifts and expansions through essays included in this book, thus mapping multi-dimensional growth of knowledge over a wide range of topical issues on the subject over a period of more than a century. Precisely, the volume is a pioneering attempt to locate whither tribal studies through collection of essays from scholars of diverse background.

Administrators, policy makers, rights activists and all those interested to know the process of expansion and institutionalization of knowledge on tribal studies in India will also find it useful.
